20 Traits That Make Men Think They Can Walk All Over You
Corbis
Do you constantly attract men who take advantage of you? Do a lot of your dates end with you paying because your date couldn’t really afford another drink but he ordered one anyway. Maybe you spend most of your dates listening to guys who talk about themselves the entire time and never ask you about yourself. If any of this sounds familiar, you might be putting out the vibe that people can walk all over you. Don’t try to change this by becoming selfish and self-serving—the fact that you are sweet, a good listener and generous is part of what makes you wonderful! But, it’s important to strike a balance between being sweet and assertive. To do that, you’ll have to become aware of and address some of these traits that tell men they can walk all over you.

You criticize yourself a lot
If you make a mistake, you are very hard on yourself. You know that other people are only human; you are fine when other people make a mistake, but when you make one, you kick yourself for days.

You’ll take calls at bad times
You have one friend who calls you every time she has a freak out (usually over the same thing—like the toxic relationship you told her to leave). And you always take her call—even if it’s at 3 in the morning and you have to get up at 6.

You make excuses for your opinions
When you assert your opinions, you don’t really assert them. In fact, you follow each opinion with ten reasons why you could see how other people won’t agree with you. Essentially, you argue with yourself.

You give a lot of excuses when you say, “No.”
On the rare occasion that you say no to someone, you give a lot of excuses. You’re extremely apologetic about saying no to taking them to the airport or taking their phone call at 3 in the morning. In fact, you end up offering to make it up to them, even though you never owed it to them in the first place.

You make excuses for other people

You don’t know how you like to spend alone time
If somebody told you that you could do anything you wanted for a day—anything at all—you wouldn’t know what to do. You dedicate so much of your time to other people’s needs that you don’t even know what you like to do.

You’re always the designated driver
You’re somehow always the designated driver. Maybe it’s because you always offer to be, and your friends haven’t finished giving a half-hearted, “Oh you shouldn’t…” before you’ve bought everybody else a round of shots.
